Yesterday when i take my milestone out of my pocket I noticed that the Settings touch button(second from left) wasn't working, every other "bar" button was working fine, except that one. Then I noticed there's a vertical line, that goes from the Setting button to the top of the phone that doesn't work. It simply stopped working... Some1 Help me pliz. It' s a Software or Hardware problem, and if it's a Software problem this thing will solve my problem??

same with my phone, may be digitizer was broken
Are u using a custom Rom or the Original ? My touchscreen had a similar issue, and reflashing the ROM solved it. It took 2 flashes, but the issue is gone.
Dont know if yours is the same, but if the issue still remains, atleast it can confirmed that its a hardware issue and not a software one.

I have used CM6 on my phone, but when i got this issue, i made my phone back to 2.1. The problem is still standing.
uh oh. Looks like a Hardware issue then. U still might wanna take to the store and get it verified. Is it still under warranty ? Any possibility of an exchange ?

Havent seen any such issues.. Thanks god..
it's similar to my problem, I had the back button through the top of the screen not working..
I have tried flashing, factory resets, and whatever I can do, but still no changed,, so I tried to ask the closest customer service and they said that it's the touchscreen panel must be thrown away to get the new one..
is it really true ?
please share this problem,,

Hi all!
I was having the same problem with the column of numbers 3, 6, 9 of dialpad. Looking for the solution in google, I have read that this problem is probably caused due to the moisture... so yesterday I turned of my milestone, removed the battery, SIM and SD cards and left it inside an enviromental chamber @ +70 celsius degress for 1 hour and guess what? Problem solved!
I hope that it works for anyone that are having the same problem!
Regards

Same problem here. I've solved it by changing the digitizer (ebay 25 euros). Works fine now but in the mean time I change for a Desire HD... good by Milestone !
If you decide to change the digitizer, be patient, fixing th Milestone is not an user friendly task But if you take your time it's ok !
ive the same problem, and i believe that's because of moisture. because every time when its raining except the problem with right side of screen im not even able to use the phone touch screen doesn't work at all and the phone just does something by itself! this issue started with small vertical bar from right side of screen and it growing everyday now im not able to use right side of screen till home button.
i want to know do i have to replace touchscreen or i can fix it with something to absorb humidity?
thanks in advance
Hello,
my Optimus 2X (Speed) is going crazy. It opens apps on its own. When I try to scroll trough my contacts or my emails, the phone vibrates and does scroll on its own, and clicks randomly. So it is not possible, to use it at the moment. It seems like someone else is controlling the phone
I tried factory reset, full wipe, Modaco rom, Cyanogen Mod and Stock Rom. In all theses roms the (problem) behaviour is the same. I also tried different baseband versions.
Does anybody has the same problem or a simular?
Thank you for your help,
Hans
ps: This forum is great and i got a lot of help and knowhow just by reading passiv for 2 months.
i think your display is now wrong calibrated or damaged
Thanks for the answer.
Is it possible to re-calibrate the touchscreen?
Hans
i dont know definitly, my last phone had the same problem and it was not possible
I had the same problem when connected to hdmi. And yes when i touch the screen the wrong position is clicked. I brought to LG service center and they flashed the ROM and after that everything was much better. There's problem occasionally but most of the time it's ok. Not sure if it helps.
If the capacitive layer of the screen hasn't been damaged, then perhaps a hard reset would clear up any issues?
With the phone off, hold down Volume down + power to do a hard reset.
It'll wipe everything on the phone, but perhaps the last option barring reflashing the phone with new firmware.
use your warranty.

Thank you for your answers. I did flash different roms and did hard resets. But the problem was the same.
So I think I have to make use of the warranty.
Me and my brother got the same problem when connecting to our 19 Philips tv via hdmi, but a 40 samsung works fine. The phone is going most crazy when holding it in my hand, when I put it on a plane surface it almost stops with all the wierd behaviors, but it's damn slow. He got an original rom and I got a Modaco rom. So is it software or harware problems? The hdmi-output seems to be ok, if I pull the cable at diffrent angles nothing changes.

exactly what i experienced. My TV is 32" Toshiba. But after flashing by LG it was much better. Also, I use MOBO video player coz it's got options of turning off the whole touch screen except the 'option' button. After that the phone is ok while playing the video.
I have a friend that had a similar problem, and even after flashing everything back to stock the phone didn't seem to work properly... He returned it to warranty as it seems to be the only thing to do...

As per the thread title, 'in car mode' keeps activating itself every few seconds. I don't have the phone docked! This is rendering the device useless as I simply cant use it while it does this.
Has anyone any experience with this? How can I deactivate in car mode forever!?
Could be a problem with the use port on phone. Check for dust buildup. Try cleaning it up. If that does not solve, may be you need a new one

Thanks. Stuck it under a vacuum - seems to be better. I no longer have the cycling of car mode on/off all the time - which was rendering the phone completely useless. The problem did come back to a lesser extent (kept making some sort of noise - so not sure what it was triggering). Vacuumed it out again - and that's resolved.
I now have audio notification of emails - I'm not sure if thats in error or I somehow enabled that feature as part of troubleshooting this. Where are the settings for that feature?

I guess I can look into that. I'm not sure if I'm covered. The phone was originally purchased in Poland with an 18 month warranty. I bought it second hand. It is within warranty - but I'm not sure if samsung will honour the warranty over here (i'm in Ireland)......?

Are you on stock rom and have you tryed a factory restart I have had the same issue on some customer roms and after flashing new rom the problem is gone could also be caused by an app causing problems as well and usually a bad USB port will cause charging issues and charge on/off with charger unplugged

Yes, it would be a stock rom. I have resisted a factory reset - as I don't want to disturb the applications and stuff I have configured on the phone (unless I really have to).....although I guess I had not really considered this to be a software/firmware issue up until now....
I can't say I have experienced any charging issues. I guess I will check when my warranty runs out - and in the meantime, see if the problem comes back with a vengence. If so, I guess I will have to take one step or another.
Check the wiki also
They do get dirty!
Also, you might want to turn it off, or pull the battery, take a clean cloth with some alcohol on it, and swab out the port. Mine has some green stuff (corrosion?) built up around the back of the connector, overlapping the pins.

So a couple of days ago, I noticed that my car wasn't reading my phone anymore via bluetooth. I thought it may be a car issue so I checked with my girlfriend's HTC one and its working perfectly. Flashed the os through the Sony pc companion repair option, the ftf that I had made as well as factory reset but nothing seems to fix the Bluetooth. It works sporadically.
I also noticed that my sound system was also not detecting on my phone. So I took it to the Sony service place. They reflashed the os and tested it and it was working. I came home and paired it with my sound dock (which is a sony) and it worked for about half a song after which it stopped working. This is frustrating. Is this a hardware or software issue?

Same problem too.
All bluetooth devices can't connect to my Xperia zr, even search it.
This occured after I update my ZR to 4.22. At first it might be software problem, I thought, so I flashed back to 4.12.
But still the same...
Suddenly, after half an our, my SBH20 can connect to my phone, I was so happy that the problem finally solved.
So I start to reinstall my favorite games from googleplay... Than, the bluetooth die again.
Maybe is both software and hardware problem?
Doesn't sound good at all. I will test mine and check.

I'm happy with that the Xperia A finally works well with my Jawbone Era, my GNexus keeps stop pass calls/sounds to my Era.
I'm fine in stock ROM 4.1.2
Unfortunately I'm facing the same issues here.
I searched around and the "Bluetooth Problem" affects other phones as well with similar symptoms, so it's most likely the software that's giving problems. There were varying success with setting the visibility to never timeout. I tried that and it worked for a short while, sadly now Bluetooth is MIA again...
The problem with this problem is that it's hard to nail down the root cause or reproduce consistently, so workable solutions are hard to find. There's an app on the Play store that claims to fix Bluetooth problems but it requires rooting, so I couldn't try it out.
Hmms looks like updating to 4.2.2 doesn't solve the problem for some of you... less rush for me to upgrade then.
Yeah, I also tried one factory reset on the phone, putting it in/out of flight mode, turning the phone on/off, and even toggling Bluetooth quickly trying to "jump-start" the underlying processes. The only change I noticed was when I was attempting the last option, I could briefly see the phone trying to disconnect from my car's Bluetooth, so it looked like something might have worked. For now, I'm just trying to live with the inconvenience every weekend when I drive.
I just find that my wifi will be disconnected by power saving mode and it won't back to work when I switch power saving mode off. Unless I have to disable all power saving mode and reboot. Would you please give it a try to switch power saving off and reboot the phone see if there's any help to the Bluetooth issue. I do only switch on power saving at night before sleep and give it a reboot every time the wifi don't work. That might be why I'm not experiencing Bluetooth issue in daytime. Could anyone can try and send some feedback please.

Nope. No solution here. Will just have to go visit the service center again on Saturday. Need to find a phone with a micro sim to use while Sony tries to fix this problem. I doubt it is software related. Probably a hardware issue.

The app didn't fix anything. Which is why I think it's a hardware problem. If it was software related, it would have come up earlier given that I used the phone for 3 months with no issues.

That's too bad...
I sent my ZR to service center yesterday,and they called me a few minutes ago.
The engineer said that" Your phone is fine here and I return it back to the center, did you forget to turn on your bluetooth setting?"
Umm...what the...
I believe that he didn't do anything about "testing".
Maybe tomorrow I'll go to service center and check, hope it do recovered...

Keep us posted...
I'm wondering ...
Is that SD card module or SIM card module caused this problem?
When I test my phone in service center, bluetooth was great, but after 5 minutes I set my SIM card and SD card in and reboot,it died again.
I guess the clue is between OS reflashed and SD card/SIM card, or even battery?

I got my phone back yesterday, and it works perfectly so far.
They have no idea about how engineer fixed it, but it seems that they decomposed it and did something.
Because my warranty sticker was gone and the cover inside the battery slot is a little bit raised.
My phone is good right now, thanks guys!
yea but over at my side... Sony Singapore doesnt even wanna repair or have anything to do with phones that they didnt sell... (Yes ZR isnt sold here so I've got an export set)
so if theres any news, i'll be glad: D
Does there anyone try to check up your BT MAC address? I've met a strange thing on my GNexus. That phone from NTT too but not officially unlock network lock. the seller just flash some half done unlock tweak to it, then I found there are many NTT GNexus user have the same BT MAC as my phone does. and that cause us can't use BT trans file between GNexus and BT headset will drop link if there are two GNexus near by.
I've manually change the BT MAC to a new MAC (my old & not use BT headset's MAC) to get it fixed. If there is no clue to fix your BT issue, maybe you can try to learn how to edit your BT MAC on android.
BTW: does any of you who met the BT issue uses Xperia A SO-04E from NTT(the phone with 32GB build-in rom)? or all are 8GB international edition?
Hi. So the other day out of the blue the speakers started doing what I've posted in the 2 videos attached.
It's very bizarre. At first I thought it might have been a software issue. I was running latest weekly mmx ROM at the time.
Since then I have done a clean flash of aosp ROM ricedroid. Issue is still there. So this suggests it's a hardware fault of sort.
I'm still a bit baffled with how's it come along as I've never dropped the phone nor has it ever gotten wet. Always been in a armour case from day 1. I've never messed with sound mods at all.
I did try installing viper4android after to see if it fixed it and nothing.
Anyone know what this may be? I really like the phone but I don't think it has any warranty left on it. Had it since the release of the mi 11.
Another weird thing is if I reboot the phone sometimes that solves it and speakers work fine. Then issue starts again at some point. Also if I open recents or start closing apps it then sorts itself out. Very weird. Anyway I hope someone on the forum can guide me to try and sort this or even find out what it is.
Thanks
